Synopsis
Experiments show that during the bulk polymerization of diacrylates at room temperature (i) the volume shrinkage cannot keep up with the chemical conversion; this explains the light intensity dependence of ultimate conversion; (ii) inhomogeneity persists far beyond the gel point; (iii) pendant double bonds initially show an enhanced reactivity due to local concentration effects; (iv) the size of domains of crystallizable monomer decreases strongly with increasing crosslink density.
